A History of Service
Each and every day, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh extends the light of Christ to individuals and families in need with programs that provide help in the present and hope for a better future.
In 1910, our outreach began by addressing the needs of struggling immigrant families who came to our region from various parts of Europe. Many were homeless, hungry and alone. Catholic Charities helped those families with food, clothing, shelter, and the skills necessary to begin a new life.
Today, we proudly continue those efforts in the Catholic tradition with compassionate service that empowers individuals, strengthens families, and builds better communities.
With offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington counties, our services include basic needs and safety net services, health care for the uninsured, homeless services, refugee resettlement, and support for youth, families and the elderly.
